EP 11: Steve Burgess – Past Life Regression, Healing & Consciousness
Wednesday Apr 30, 2025
Wednesday Apr 30, 2025
Can past life regression unlock healing, reveal hidden traumas, and even connect us to lifetimes lived beyond Earth?
In EP 11: Steve Burgess – Past Life Regression, Healing & Consciousness, host Justin Gearheart speaks with world-renowned hypnotherapist Steve Burgess, who has guided more than 15,000 sessions of regression therapy. With decades of experience and books like The Power of Past Life Regression and Adventures of a Hypnotherapist, Burgess shares remarkable stories of clients who uncovered ancestral trauma, revisited ancient lifetimes, and even explored memories of other worlds.
From healing chronic pain and depression through regression therapy to cases of clients recalling detailed historical events they couldn’t have known, Steve reveals how revisiting locked-in emotions can transform lives. He also opens up about cutting-edge work in surrogate regression (healing one person or even animals by working with another) and what happens when clients regress into lifetimes as extraterrestrials.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
What hypnosis really is — and what it isn’t.
How past life regression differs from standard hypnotherapy.
Powerful client stories of healing depression, migraines, phobias, and chronic pain.
Cases where regression revealed past lives as historical figures or even star beings.
How regression therapy connects to consciousness, meditation, and spiritual awakening.
Whether you approach with skepticism or curiosity, Steve’s insights challenge conventional ideas about memory, trauma, and reality itself.

EP 10: The Wyong UFO Incident — Orbs, Wheel of Light, Triangle
Wednesday Apr 16, 2025
Wednesday Apr 16, 2025
A quiet night at an Australian golf resort turned into one of the most astonishing UFO encounters we’ve ever covered. In EP 10: The Wyong UFO Incident, host Justin Gearheart speaks with Clark Watson about a sighting that began as a distant flashing light over the coast and escalated into aerial “orbs” accelerating and chasing each other with impossible agility—then forming a rotating “wheel of light.” Moments later, a vast, organic-looking triangular craft hovered silently above the hotel, moving like a second hand across the sky. Afterward came the strangest twist: missing time and disappearing videos that should have captured the triangle.
Clark—now a field investigator with MUFON Australia—walks us through every detail: the irregular strobing, the darting movements that left light trails, the spoke-like wheel pattern, the texture and concave edges of the triangle, the overwhelming “ontological shock,” and the realization that raw phone footage rarely matches what witnesses perceive. We also explore why oceans might be hotspots, how consciousness could shape what we observe, and why disclosure without mental-health scaffolding could do more harm than good.
If you’re drawn to UFO sightings, alien encounters, paranormal phenomena, consciousness research, and unexplained mysteries, this episode delivers a rare combination of vivid testimony, on-the-scene video context, and hard questions about reality itself.

EP 9: The Rising (Part 3) – Jeff Selver’s Hybrid Human Prophecy & Alien Agenda
Wednesday Mar 12, 2025
Wednesday Mar 12, 2025
What if aliens weren’t just visiting — but actively planning to replace humanity?
In EP 9: The Rising (Part 3), host Justin Gearheart concludes his three-part conversation with Jeff Selver, whose lifelong contact story pushes into the most unsettling territory yet. Traveling alone across Canada in 1998, Jeff was taken in broad daylight by a massive cloaked craft. Inside, he met the Twins — two identical Gray beings who revealed a disturbing truth: humanity had failed to protect Earth, and a program was already underway to create the “new human.”
What Jeff saw shocked him — medical beds with exhumed bodies, a warehouse of hybrid forms growing in tubes, and a telepathic message that nuclear weapons marked humanity’s last chance. Through holograms, he was shown Earth’s biosphere collapsing, consumed in flames, and rebuilt under alien stewardship. At the heart of this revelation was something even stranger: an encounter with the ship’s consciousness itself — a radiant intelligence the beings called God.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
Jeff’s daylight abduction and meeting with the Twins.
Evidence of cattle and human mutilations tied to hybrid creation.
A vast underground facility producing hybrid bodies.
Telepathic warnings that Earth’s future depends on intervention.
A direct encounter with the consciousness field aliens identify as Creator.
This final installment of The Rising is not just an abduction account — it’s a glimpse into an alien agenda of replacement, evolution, and planetary stewardship that forces us to question humanity’s place in the cosmos.

EP 8: Escape from Lahaina – Intuition, UFOs & the Voice That Saved Her Life
Wednesday Feb 26, 2025
Wednesday Feb 26, 2025
What if a voice in your head told you to drop everything and leave — and it ended up saving your life?
In EP 8: Escape from Lahaina, host Justin Gearheart speaks with Michaela, a cruise ship bartender whose mysterious intuition led her to quit her job in Hawaii just one week before the deadly Lahaina wildfires. Without warning, a clear voice in her mind urged, “Leave now. Get off the ship. Don’t come back.” She listened — and days later, every hotel, restaurant, and street she’d stayed in was gone.
Michaela shares her journey from heartbreak in Maryland to an unexpected calling in Maui, and the strange guidance she’s felt ever since. She describes the moment she touched the ancient banyan tree in Lahaina and felt an electric surge assuring her she made the right choice, and the deeper connection between intuition, consciousness, and quantum mechanics that continues to shape her life.
In this episode, you’ll hear how Michaela’s inner voice returned after Lahaina — offering messages of reassurance and warnings about “what’s to come” — her perspective on the New Jersey drone and orb sightings, her belief that the mind and universe are connected through frequency, and the life-changing effect of Moldavite, a green meteorite crystal she swears awakened her senses.
This is a story about intuition, fate, and the unseen forces that protect us, raising questions about whether these inner voices come from within — or from somewhere far beyond.

Wednesday Feb 12, 2025
What if an alien abduction didn’t just take you aboard a craft — but let you pilot one to a hidden city on Venus?
In EP 7: The Rising (Part 2), host Justin Gearheart continues his conversation with Jeff Selver, whose story pushes far beyond a typical UFO encounter. After being shown visions of the afterlife in Part 1, Jeff’s experiences escalate into direct, physical contact with extraterrestrial beings — encounters that include red orbs, full abductions, piloting a UFO, and exploring a vast city on Venus.
Jeff describes being taken aboard a silver craft, meeting multiple non-human species, and experiencing moments of both ecstasy and trauma that challenged everything he thought he knew about reality. From intimate interactions with alien hybrids to conversations with a compassionate Elder Gray, his journey reveals a tapestry of genetic experiments, consciousness transformation, and interplanetary travel unlike anything ever shared on the Close Encounter Club.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
Jeff’s contact on a remote island and the arrival of a mysterious red orb.
The terrifying moment of paralysis followed by overwhelming compassion from the Elder Gray.
How he was guided to pilot a UFO through space.
His journey to Venus, where he discovered a hidden alien city.
The unsettling biological encounter that left him questioning consent, duality, and destiny.
This is one of the most extraordinary and controversial abduction accounts you’ll ever hear — a story that blends UFO phenomena, consciousness exploration, and cosmic mystery.
